░B.EXPOLSION░---------------------------------- Note:There are prob. some spelling mistakes in this , but I tried. I am soo tired from exams , and work. Just bare with me , and try to figure out what I am saying,haha. I don't think it's that bad , but I'm to tired to do spell check! OK so to start off I would like to say. I am so glad that ABDC is back on. I was getting so sick of the other shows. Know I have something to look foward to after work! Know time to get down with the reviewing---> Right off the back I have to say this. Why in the heck was Omarion there. Really He was just a seat filler in my I eyes , a guest judge. They could of got someone so much better. He barely talked , and he was basically invisible to me. There is , so many other people they could of picked. I understand Shane is in jail , and all , but really...really!He needs to go pronto , but one thing I did like about him is when he put Lil Mama on the spot. He was like "tell them what you said to me" when Royal Flush was up ,haha. I laughed so hard. Lil Mama was like this ⊙▂⊙ lost for words ,haha. Ok know to the crews→ The ϚouthI am impressed with this set up they have this season (regionals),and all!It kinda takes it back to the roots of ABDC.They have way more crews to pick from and all. I am not getting my hopes up ,but heh. Hopefully this season will be good. Based off what I've seen there are some promicing crews from the South.
Jungle Boogie→Ok why are they so loud. Did anyone else notice that?Oh my god when they were in the auditions they were like "Jungle Boogie" , and my ears ringged. Well thats besides the points. When it came to there preformance I have to say it was ok. I like there style cranking , but it is nothing new to me. Not to be racist since I am African American my self , but why do they always have to come out with some rediculous dance , with a dumb name. Cranking really. Its like if your African American your not getting on the show unless you have some crazy dance. They were alittle sloppy , and not on point with eachother.If they would have cleaned it up I would have loved it. When they did that like "Mexican Wrestling" move it was sloppy , and hard to look at. I wanted to throw something at the T.V. it was so ugly , and ruined the pre. for me.So for this group I give them like a 1 out of 5 for the pre.
Ghost→Hmm..Ghost with there diff. color contacts , haha. So I guess they were the first crew with the hard life backround. Nice to start off the season with something predictible ABDC,haha (SARCASM). I like them though. They listened to the judges , and had levels which I noticed right from the start which is really good of them. Some crews don't listen.If they would have utilized the stage more they would have killed it. And gave me some kind of ghostly type move , or illusion. They would have killed it.They didn't though , so it kind of fell flat , and repetative. For this crew I give this pre. a 1.2 out of 5!
X-treme Motion→Ok..Bucken really..really. Yall are booty shaken regardless , and the only crew to pass with that was Live in Color (1st season). So sit down please. To bad Shane wasn't there he prob. would have let them go to the next round. There pre. was dumb , sloppy , and needed work (lots). If they would have cleaned it up, not used recyled moves, and been original with it. I would have liked it. I bet there were way better girl groups from the south. Hope they know they only made it on for booty shanken ,haha.I give the pre. a 1 out of 5.I don't hate them I just think they could of done better.
Swagger Crew→Oh..when I heard there name I was like "someone is full of there selfs" , but they have all right to be. They killed everyone this ep. They are a crew I can look forward to every ep. , and the girl holds her own which I like. She is not just letting the guys carry her. Oh there is so much to say about them. They had so many good points in the pre. I hate the song , but they did so good. At the end when it was like the guy had got kicked in the...you know were , it was funny,and added something to the pre. And when the girl took center stage! I will give this pre. a 2.5-5! I mean heh I can't give them a 3 yet I know this is only the begining.
Royal Flush→Really....really! I am not even going to waste my time typing to much. How did they make it on the stage? Did the hold the judges at gun point? Did the girl sleep with JC?What , what could they have done , I am baffled at this! Umm..the preformance was random,un-organized,ugly,and a big waste of time. They should have trained way more. It was all over the place. Like I said I am not waisting time typing to much I give this pre. a .5 out of 5 , and that's being nice.Ӻinal RoundRoyal Flush vs Ghost vs X-treme Motion Winner:Royal Flush Oh my god what in the world..they suck. They need to go know. ABDC does this every season , and it's starting to get on my last nerve. What you say? I'll tel you what send people on to the next round that have know buisness going. Ghost should have one. They took what the judges said , and did it. Only to basically get told oh that was not good enough. Oh goodness gracious. They will be gone soon anyways so I don't have to worry that much ,haha!
Overall this season looks somewhat promicing. Hopefully I will like it. I will only have to wait , and see. More reviews will be coming so be ready! ----------------------------------

I am really surprised to see that all of the GA crews made it. So I guess the South is gonna be represented by GA! Anyway that's good I guess. GA will finally get some publicity. But as always I wanna see what the West has to offer! Gotta love the West! Haha!
Jungle Boogie: They were okay. They had a lot of energy on the stage but I think they could've done better than that.
Ghost Crew: This crew had some very cool moves but they were kinda simple. They could have brought more to the competition.
X-Treme Motion: I didn't like them either. They reminded me of the Fly Khicks! This isn't a booty shaking competition you know. It's a dance competition.
Swagger Crew: I loved them! They were definitely the best crew from the South! The best part of the routine was like JC said, when they started grooving.
Royal Flush: This crew was okay I guess. The only time they shined for me was when they had to fight for their lives on stage. That's probably why they got saved.
So those were the Southern crews. This wasn't really a good episode so hopefully the East, and especially the West will bring something better!

Quick before school review. Well, this episode was interesting to say the least. For starters, I'm completely happy that X-Treme Motion got kicked off. I loved that trick that Jungle Boogie pulled off near the beginning of their routine. Hopefully we see more like that. (The mexacan wrestling thing) Ghost Crew was very enjoyable to watch. You could feel their passion. It's a shame that they had to go. Maybe next year. Swagger Crew had a very nice flow to their performance. I can't really comment much else on this performance. Royal Flush didn't really appeal to me. Sure they had some pretty cool tricks, but I think Omarian had the right thought, "The cards are kinda gimmicky."
Overall, I wasn't too blown away exept by the move Jungle Boogie pulled off. Hopefully we see more memorable moments like that from them (or moreso, Poreotics whee )

Now that is some south flavor I've been looking for. Enough of this east vs west crap just showcase all the regions and have them battle it out for the top spot. That's how it should be.
Jungle Boogie: Hell yeah that crew brought some serious energy. There transitions were cool and pretty seamless. I would like a little more difficulty, but really good.
Ghost Crew: Sorry that crew is very good at isolations, but like the judges said show us something different. Gotta have that creative spark and they do have tons of potential. Love what I saw from them.
X-Treme Motion: Now this is a south crew straight up and love the marching band flavor they bring to the table. They have some very cool choreography, but would like more than what I saw.
Swagger Crew: Hell yes this is my favorite from the south. They tore that down and were so worth the anticipation. I love them and there use of the moves and crew members was very good.
Royal Flush: This crew is just a joke. I actually liked the cards, but seriously you tried out 5 times and took all the feedback and that's what you come to the table with. So whack.
Overall impression: Season 5 is bringing more talent it seems and they are getting back to the roots of this is a battle. Are you kidding me that Royal Flush made it over Ghost & X-treme Motion. So disappointed in the judges and already your starting off on a sour note of it's rigged, but we all knew that already. I'm still waiting to be wowed though. Good moves and tricks, but for Season 5 they should all be thinking out of the box (yeah I realized dance crew reference) and coming with stuff that is going to blow our mind every single time and just murder all the other crews. Like in the previous earlier seasons Kaba Modern killed isolations and not a single crew could come close to them yet with this season all the crews seem to be able to do the same moves. I want them to bring something that no other crew can touch or would even want to try to master. Maybe I'm expecting too much with having MTV and Randy Jackson at the producers and with having 4 seasons under our belts. Step yo game up.

Swagger Crew was tiight, best crew out of them all. To be honest I think Royal Flush shouldn't of made it, Ghost was waaaaay better than Royal Flush. IMO

A;though Royal Fulsh wasn't that great, I felt that they did really well on the final performance. They had many tricks that caught my eye. That's probably the only reason they got on.

Well also from this other perspective. X-Treme motion seemed to only have booty shaking and weak choreo in there crew so I could see why they wouldn't make it.
Ghost crew it can get boring after awhile if they can't be more creative with there moves.
Royal Flush gave us everything and even though sloppy maybe if they stick to one thing they might surprise us. We will have to see.

I was laughing too when Lil' Mama was put on the spot, hahaha. I don't think she ever said what she really said and I wanted to know.
Jungle Beat - I loved their energy, and they just seemed so lively their performance was okay though, and yeah it did go sloppy but I think they caught that themselves. But overall it was okay.
Ghost - That's. . . interesting, I didn't really care about their performance, it just seemed so lacking. And of course, the sad story of bad neighborhood or whatever, yeah, it's not that I feel no remorse over it or anything, but I don't like it when crews use that as their "This is why we should be in ABDC".
The buckin Girls - Okay so I couldn't remember their names, "X-treme motion" (Just looked to see right now). Of course the guys are going to Om nom nom all over you, you are doing booty shaking and that's it. It's nothing "new", routine was really boring and not exciting, and I'm not hating on booty shaking, but seriously, I didn't like it.
Swagger Crew - Did pretty good, it seemed like they knew what they were doing and have their name for a reason. I don't want to get attached now, good job guys ^_^.
Royal Flush - Okay, what happened? so many things going on! I couldn't keep track and one thing to the next, it just looked like they were put on there to do whatever last minute. Though there was that one trick that was pretty sweet, i'll give them that, and I think that's what saved them. Hopefully not their "Oh 5 times we deserve this", although that's what it seems to be. -_-
Da Battle I'm kinda okay with Royal Flush making it cause Ghost still wasn't making me go "Hey, that's pretty darn good", though neither was Royal Flush. I'll have to watch it again, but like I said before, I think it was their athleticism that saved them. Let's just hope they clean that up.
